"You're welcome. Since I accepted the gift from my elder sister, I would feel bad if I don't help her solve some of the problems. As for what happened before, I'm considering whether I should forgive you." Gu Jianchu always accepts gifts and then does things.

As for the things that had happened before where he had helped the virtuous concubine to commit atrocities, that could be easily written off.

There is also Xie Ci'an, who was bullied before.

Perhaps in the past, Gu Jianchu was only fulfilling her duties as a queen and a concubine to Xie Ci'an.

Now she has unknowingly included Xie Ci'an in her circle of protection.

Even she didn't realize it.

After leaving the side hall, Gu Jianchu suddenly asked, "What is Doctor Lin's current position in the Imperial Hospital?"

"The current head of the Imperial Hospital is Doctor Zhang, who was promoted by the Empress Dowager. Doctor Zhang is notoriously stingy. Doctor Lin was originally just a lowly doctor in the Imperial Hospital, usually only treating palace maids and eunuchs. But after treating the Empress Dowager twice, he won her favor. Doctor Zhang then assumed that Doctor Lin was trying to curry favor with her and move up the ladder by any means necessary."

"Some time ago, Doctor Lin was supposed to be promoted, but Doctor Zhang couldn't stand him and gave the position to someone else. Now, Doctor Lin is just a junior doctor in the Imperial Hospital. Because of your favor, Doctor Zhang always ostracizes him and finds fault with him. If your Majesty doesn't summon him, Doctor Zhang will ask Doctor Lin to tidy up the pharmacy."

"I knew that Imperial Physician Zhang had evil intentions, but I didn't expect them to be so evil. Wasn't Imperial Physician Zhang worried that Imperial Physician Lin would climb the ladder and he wouldn't be able to stand it? Pass on my oral order. Imperial Physician Lin has made great contributions in detoxifying the eldest princess and will be promoted to deputy chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau from today." Gu Jianchu curled his lips into a sneer.

Yunhe immediately ran to convey Gu Jianchu's oral instructions.

Xie Qingzhi rested for another day in Gu Jianchu's Kunning Palace. When she felt better, she asked Xia Zhi to harness the carriage and return to the princess's mansion.

After being severely tortured, some spies from the Imperial City Bureau could not bear the punishment and confessed their identities as Gusu and the purpose of coming to the Jin Dynasty.

Xie Ci'an has already ordered someone to write a letter to the King of Gusu, asking Gusu to pay money to redeem the person.

They would send spies to each other, but they would get information based on their own abilities. However, doing such disgusting things was despicable.

Xie Ci'an still had things to deal with and wanted to see Gu Jianchu, so he asked Cheng Song to pick up Gu Jianchu and bring him to Chuigong Hall for dinner.

After dinner, Gu Jianchu stayed beside Xie Ci'an to help with grinding. Cheng Song would occasionally come in to bring him a cup of ginseng tea. Apart from that, the only sound was the flipping of memorials.

I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Jianchu couldn’t help but yawn.

Xie Ci'an grabbed her wrist, which was rubbing against her wrist, and said softly, "Achu, if you're sleepy, go and rest first."

Gu Jianchu has had poor sleep quality these days and is really sleepy now.

She couldn't help but nodded, "I'll take my leave first."

Xie Ci'an grabbed Gu Jianchu's hand and said, "It's late now. There's no need to toss and turn. Go inside and sleep."

Gu Jianchu stared at Xie Ci'an with hesitation. She was really a little scared. After a while, she fell asleep, and he got up with his bestiality.

Xie Ci'an immediately noticed Gu Jianchu's concerns, his eyes filled with an expression that could not be melted away. He said softly, "I won't do anything to you, so go to sleep without worry."

Although Xie Ci'an sometimes went a bit too far in bed, he always kept his word. Gu Jianchu went to the dragon bed in the side hall to rest without any doubt.

Xie Ci'an didn't let anyone disturb Gu Jianchu's rest. When Gu Jianchu woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. Gu Jianchu called Zhuxi in to wait on him, "Is the morning court not over yet?"

"Not yet. I heard that the emperor was angry with the court officials because of the Gusu incident." Zhuxi also heard what the young eunuchs serving in the Chuigong Palace said.

Many ministers in the court were deceived in the Gusu incident, and the emperor will get angry sooner or later.

"Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare breakfast in advance and send it over in half an hour." Gu Jianchu did not ask any further questions about this matter.

After Gu Jianchu finished speaking, he saw Zhuxi's expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. "If you have anything interesting to say, just tell me."

"News came from outside the palace that the eldest princess's health has stabilized, and Meng Yu, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, was taken out and dealt with early this morning." The news Zhuxi heard was incomplete.

Meng Yu stole the eldest princess's gold, silver and jewelry, and even kept a mistress outside without the eldest princess's knowledge. How could the eldest princess swallow this? She was a little curious about how Xie Qingzhi would deal with Meng Yu.

[I can't laugh anymore. Xie Qingzhi's treatment of Meng Yu is indeed more painful than killing him.]

Early this morning, Xie Qingzhi had Meng Yu dragged out of the dungeon, stripped him naked, and thrown outside the Princess's residence for public display. Passersby could see him, and Meng Yu was mortified and enraged. Word spread quickly, and even the scholars he had previously offended came to the Princess's residence with rotten vegetable leaves and eggs to throw at him.

[Today's meal is just an appetizer. Tomorrow, Xie Qingzhi will strip him naked and drag him to the market to be displayed to the public. Isn't Meng Yu shameless? Then she will rub Meng Yu's face against the ground.]

Meng Yu actually flirted with Xia Zhi, hoping that Xia Zhi would plead for her. He even thought that Xia Zhi had a crush on him before.

What gave Meng Yu the illusion that Xia Zhi liked him?

Xia Zhi immediately slapped the man twice, then told the princess about the incident.

The princess was so angry she laughed. Since Meng Yu was so fond of flirting, she sent her servants to the butcher's house to fetch two sows and keep them with Meng Yu.

[Xie Qingzhi never considered the sow's feelings. A sow's life is also a life.]

Xie Ci'an came in from outside and heard Gu Jianchu's sharp and explosive voice, as well as her shoulders shaking as she tried to suppress her smile.

Originally, he was filled with anger, but when he saw Gu Jianchu, he instantly calmed down a little, "What are you so happy about?"

"I heard about some things happening in the Princess's mansion. I heard that the Princess stripped that scumbag naked and threw him out for public display." Gu Jianchu pulled Xie Ci'an to sit aside and asked with concern, "I heard that the Emperor was angry today. Why would such trivial matters make you angry and hurt yourself?"

"It's not that I'm angry, I just want to give those ministers in the court a warning." Xie Ci'an held Gu Jianchu's hand on his shoulder, and gently pulled him, and Gu Jianchu fell to his knees.

Xie Ci'an leaned over and kissed Gu Jianchu on the corner of his mouth.

Even though they have been together for so long, Gu Jianchu is still extremely sensitive. Just a light kiss and her cheeks instantly turned red.

He instinctively reached out to push Xie Ci'an away.

Xie Ci'an grabbed her and pushed her back in an instant, while his arms around her waist tightened. He buried his head in Gu Jianchu's shoulder, his warm breath falling on her earlobe. "Achu, don't move. I want to rest for a while."

Gu Jianchu instantly understood the hidden meaning in Xie Ci'an's words.

If she moves around, she might be the one in trouble.
